[You died]
[You have been sent back to the title screen]
[Would you like to continue?]
[Y/N]
I look at the text with a shocked expression. Why you may be asking? That's because I thought when I die I would go to the afterlife, see my family, and be happy for the rest of eternity, not stuck in some game of death that makes you go through New Game after New Game!
I want a refund, dangit! I mean, what are you to expect from an average Joe who only wants to see his family after death. I didn't want to die over and over again!
I sigh. 'Well, there's no use crying over spilled milk.'
I click 'Y' and wait for something to happen.
[Thank you for experiencing our Beta test!]
[We appreciate all the support from our users!]
[Unfortunetly, our servers are down at the moment]
[Please stand by!]
'What?!'
I don't remember how long I was floating in the void, but I do remember the relief that I felt when "The Servers" came back online.
[Update installed]
[Would you like to continue to the main menu?]
[Y/N]
I imminently clicked 'Y' this time.
[Life Simulator!]
[New Game]
[Load Game]
[Achivements]
[Credits]
I clicked 'Achivements' first. I didn't know what 'Credits' did, and I don't think I would want to find out anytime soon.
[This is your Achievement window]
[It shows you all the achievements you get throughout your lives]
[Curent Achivements: N/A]
I clicked out of the window, feeling sad that my life hadn't merited even one achievement.
I then click the 'Load Game' window. What do you expect, a save file with SSG Goku fighting G.O.D. Burruss? Again, though, another 'N/A'.
This time, I stopped messing around and hit 'New Game'. I was quite surprised at what I found waiting for me through this menu, though.
[Dragon Ball: Fight with Goku, become his blood brother, or even marry Bulma! The options are limitless with the Dragon Balls!
Naruto: Pretty self-explanatory, Ninjas, Tailed beast, and Madara Uchiha. You won't last a second here, without real skill that is!
Pokemon: BORING! What are you going to do? Catch Pokemon? Oh please, you'd be dead within seconds!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Now there's something I can get behind! You could stop time with the right godly/Godly parent! If you're a newbie looking to cultivate skill? Go right in and take the easy mode!]
The list was endless. I think I even saw MVS (My Vampire System) in there too! I'm going to have to try that out sometime. Vampires! Are! THE! COOLEST!
-ahem- Sorry, I'm just excited. I know I said I wouldn't be, but come on man, it's so cool!
Well, let's get back on topic! Naruto? -PFFT- I'd get killed within seconds! DBZ? Not with DBS going on, and Goku being dumb. I mean, come on, they did all of the characters dirty in DBS! Pokemon? Bore-ing. I loved the games, but living in that? No thanks!
Now, PJO is something I could get behind. Sure it's not THE safest, but it's still safer than Naruto... Some times. It's got gods, what do you expect? It's still more fun than Pokemon, though.
With everything settled, I selected 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians'. "Man, I hope I can get a good godly parent!"
[Now that you have your world, time for your pantheon]
[Greek
Roman
Norse
Christan
RANDOM!!! (You can get any pantheon in the known, and unknown, universe!]
As soon as I see the options, I choose Greek. Don't get me wrong, I would love to go with my home-boy Christ, but I don't know how the religion would go down. Would it be pulled out of the bible? would it be partially made up? I don't know.
I will choose it next time, though. With this playthrough, I should be able to get a good look at the landscape. See what it's like.
[Now that you have your godly parent, time for your race!]
[Human(Clear-sighted): You are a clear-sighted mortal who holds Hetecate (goddess of magic) above the other gods. Perk: Clear-Sighted, 10% EXP from all things related to magic.
Demi-god: You are the demi-god son/daughter of a god. You can choose your godly parent, Perks: godly sent, Clear-Sighted, ????. 50% EXP related to all things godly
God: Locked
Demi-Titan: Locked
Titan: Locked
Demi-Primordal: Locked
Primordial: Locked]
It should be obvious what I chose! Do you think a mortal can survive in a world full of demi-gods and gods? Heck NO!

The last windows pop up all at once, and I'm at a loss for words. Like WTF! Why do the godly parents cost so much!? Like, I understand that they are OP, but that's just too much! -Sigh- whatever!
I go down the list looking at all the cool stuff. I end up choosing four extra PP(Perk Points), 'The Gamer', and 'Minor god Time!'
Once I pick 'Minor god Time!' a roulette appears in front of me. I, of course, spin it. Spinning, the roulette was nothing special. It took about ten minutes to stop spinning, and when it stopped, It landed on Thanatos.
I have to be honest about this one, I know nothing about Thanotose!
When I was still alive, I only read PJO for fun! I never even made it to HoO! I just thought being able to become a god was cool! I'm done for!
-Sigh-, I've been doing that a lot lately, oh well, can't go back now. I guess I'll pick my Perks,
I pick Parents Love, Darkness is nigh, Magic and me, and ????. What? I like to gamble.
I pick Parents Love so I can eventually get good stuff from Thanatos, don't know what he has, though.
Darkness is nigh, I picked because it still hasn't given me a description, and well, it's an optional death god Perk!
Magic and me? I picked that so I could learn all the cool stuff! Who cares if I have to put in more work to physical strength to get OP!
And, as I said, I picked ???? because I like to gamble!
[Now that you've got all of that planned out, say, "STATUS!"]
I say status and an RPG screen pops up.
[Name: Luke (You won't have a last name until you reincarnate)

Dang, this kinda reminds me of the Dark Souls LVL menu {A/N: Couldn't think of anything better}! I end up putting a lot of my SP into physical status, so I can use my Magic better.

And with that, my world went blank.
